PlanningThe key to a successful in-class essay is planning. The pie chart to the right represents your allotted time to write the entire essay. Note that the shaded portion designates the amount of your time you should spend in planning. This worksheet will take you step by step through this crucial portion of the writing process.

Step 1 Drawing from your own background, experiences, and knowledge, brainstorm for topic ideas. (Note: If your topic is already assigned, skip to Step 2.)

Step 2 Write your thesis statement, remembering to state your topic as well as what you will say about that topic. Make this sentence interesting yet workable for the time you’ve been allotted.

Step 3 List your main supporting points. These should explain or defend your thesis statement.

Step 4 Sketch a simple rough outline of your essay. Remember that each outline point will likely represent a paragraph in your essay. (Note: Keep the outline simple. List a few succinct points and make the points parallel if possible.)
